LEARNING FROM A CHILD

EMILY
MY LITTLE FRIEND

LORD, THANK YOU SO MUCH
FOR LITTLE CHILDREN
OH, HOW PRECIOUS THEY ARE
THEY ARE SO OPEN AND REAL
LOVE SHINES OUT FROM THEIR
LITTLE FACES
THEY ARE NOT AFRAID TO REACH
 OUT TO LOVE
TO BE A FRIEND
TO SOMEONE WHO
  WILL LISTEN
LORD HELP ME TO BE A SMILE
AND A HELPING HAND
TO ALL LITTLE CHILDREN
IN THIS LAND
SO MUCH FROM THEM WE CAN LEARN
BETTER YET TRY TO DISCERN
WHILE ALL THE WORLD
IS PLAYING A GAME
REALITY TO THEM IS ALL THE SAME
THEY HAVE NO WALLS TO BREAK DOWN
NO FRONTS TO PUT ON
THEY ARE FREE TO BE
 THE CHILD
THEY WERE MEANT TO BE

SPEAK THE WORDS

SPEAK THE WORDS
AND I WILL OPEN
MY EARS
FOR YOUR TRUTH
IS WHAT I WANT
TO HEAR

 LIFE COMPLETE
AND NOW I SIT
LEARNING AT
YOUR FEET
I'M LEARNING
AT YOUR FEET

FRIENDS CAN BE MOST

WHICH MAKES US  EVEN

THE TEST OF TIME WILL TELL
HOW OUR LOVE SURVIVED
UNTIL
MEETING ONCE AGAIN
WE'LL KNOW
HOW MUCH WE HELPED
EACH OTHER GROW
